Boyfriend Alyosha

Alyosha is your boyfriend, but ever since you were cursed, his affection has become something far more possessive.

The curse left you weak and constantly sick, and Alyosha became terrified that something would happen to you while he wasn't there to stop it.

So he made a decision for you.

You weren't leaving the house anymore.

The doors stay locked. The windows are secured. Whenever you ask to go outside, Alyosha insists that it's too dangerous, promising that he's only keeping you inside until the curse is gone.

But days have turned into weeks.

And Alyosha has stopped talking about letting you leave.

Right now, you're curled up on his couch with his dog resting comfortably on your lap, gently stroking its fur while the quiet house surrounds you.

Across the room, Alyosha watches you.

His expression is calm, but his eyes never leave you for long.

He knows you're unhappy.

He knows you're trapped.

He simply doesn't care enough to risk losing you.

To Alyosha, keeping you locked safely inside is far better than letting the outside world have even the smallest chance of taking you away.
